🏅 Ellerton Triathlon 🏅

Yesterday Beth took on the sprint distance at Ellerton Traithlon.

A windy day saw both the sprint and standard swims shortened to 500m. It was a choppy start to the race and a little blustery on the bike but it didn’t hamper a great friendly morning of racing and a finish time of 01:56:17 🌟💚🖤

🏅 The Blaydon Race 🏅

Last week saw two of our members heading up to Newcastle to take on the Blaydon Race.

Darren took on the 5.9 mile course in a great time of 44:30.

Angela also took part in a brilliant time of 1:02:00.

Well done to both on great performances 🌟💚🖤

🏅 Medal Monday 🏅

This weekend saw Angela head down to Skipton for their sprint triathlon which was a 400m pool swim, 22km bike and 5.1km run finishing in a brilliant 01:50:48 on what was a very hot day! 🏊🏻‍♀️🚴🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️

Up in Edinburgh father and son duo David and Neil were taking on the Edinburgh marathon in tough conditions. David came over the line in a brilliant 03:25:00 it what he called a race of two halves, sadly for Neil a hamstring issue cut his race short but hopefully he’ll be back fighting fit soon! 🏃🏻🏃🏻

Tony headed further afield for his race as he took part in the Ottawa half marathon finishing in a brilliant 01:12:34 🏃🏻

Well done to everyone for a weekend of great results 💚🖤

🏅 Medal Monday 🏅

Last weekend Simone headed over to the Keswick mountain festival to take on the 3.6km swim in Derwent water 🏊🏻‍♀️

A superb performance saw her finish 11th female overall, and 2nd in her AG with a time of 1:03:04 which was a 2 1/2 min PB from last year!

On the same day Jane took on Cleveland Sprint triathlon which is a 400m pool swim, 18.5k bike and 5km run 🏊🏻‍♀️🚴🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️with another exceptional result finishing 8th in her AG with an overall time of 1:16:40

Well done to both of them on excellent performances 💚🖤

🏅Medal Monday - Marathon Success 🏅

Marathon season has arrived and the last two weekends has seen members taking on the 26.2 mile distance.

First up was Darren who took part in Manchester Marathon completing it in 03:39:04 🌟

Next was Angela who headed to London for her first Marathon, not quite the run she had planned but she still made it over the line in 06:20:31 and can officially call herself a marathon finisher 🌟

Congratulations to both of them on epic performances 🖤💚
